Bridges, Veneers and Dental Crowns in Edmonton—Restoring Your Smile
A dental crown provides a prosthetic cap for your damaged or decayed tooth in order to make it smoother, cleaner looking, and stronger. You may need a crown if you have suffered from broken teeth, clench your teeth, have undergone a root canal, or simply lack adequate tooth structure for a filling. That's why Northgate Dental Centre offers dental crowns in Edmonton. Patients will find that the crown procedure is not as extensive as some restoration methods. The process is as follows:
- Your tooth and surrounding gum tissue are anaesthetized.
- The tooth is filed down to create space for the crown.
- We take an impression of your tooth in order to create the crown.
- A temporary crown is put on while you await the custom fit one. This will prevent further damage.
- Once created, your custom dental crown is bonded to your tooth.
Bridges
A dental bridge works to keep your smile functional and healthy. It is held in place by remaining adjacent teeth. When you're missing teeth, the remaining teeth can drift in and out of position if something isn't put in the place of the missing tooth. This shift in your teeth can cause your bite to change, the loss of more teeth, decay, or even gum disease. With the help of a dental bridge from Northgate Dental Centre Ltd. in Edmonton, patients can avoid these potential issues. A dental bridge is constructed with the following procedure:
- The teeth on either side of the empty space are prepared and shaped to receive crowns.
- An impression is made of each tooth and a bridge is made.
- A temporary tooth is bonded to these teeth while the bridge is made in a professional laboratory.
- Finally, the temporary bridge is removed and the permanent one is fixed into place.
We will extend recommendations, but the final decision will be yours.
Veneers
Northgate Dental Centre Ltd. in Edmonton also provides veneers to patients who wish to restore their smile after it has been chipped or discoloured. A veneer is a thin porcelain shell-like object that is fitted over the front of your teeth. Veneers are specifically made to match your tooth colour and offer both protection and aesthetic improvement. Improve the look of your smile today.
